The most important part of the monastery complex is the church to its north. The church comprises of four freestanding closed aisles based on the Greek cross plan; in the northern aisle of the cross there is a niche with two tombs . To the west there are two entrances covered with a cradle vault. The function of many of the other spaces in the monastery is not known.

It is assumed that at least three different masters worked on the paintings found on the walls of the church. In the main apse there are three bands of paintings: the highest shows Christ Enthroned with two angels to his right, the symbols of the gospel writers and the moment of Deisis with Mary and the disciples. The lowest series shows fathers of the church, Basil the Great of Kayseri, Gregory of Nisa, Gregory of Nazians and the like.
